PHOENIX — Valley law enforcement agencies continue to search for a pair of burglars who stole eye glasses and computers in separate instances.

The first burglary happened on Thursday, Aug. 14, 2014, at approximately 4:30 a.m., when the two suspects entered a LensCrafters located at 2330 N. 75th Ave. in Phoenix. Silent Witness reports the two removed several pairs of eye glasses. Only one of the suspects was caught on video surveillance.

And then on Thursday, Sept 4., just before 6 a.m., the duo allegedly entered an Excel Vision Eye Care business at 5425 E. Bell Road in Scottsdale and again took several pairs of eye glasses as well as computers.

Silent Witness said the suspects are believed to be involved in several burglaries of optometry businesses in the Phoenix area.

The first suspect is a white male who had a beard and a mustache and was wearing a black T-shirt, dark shorts, a red bandanna and a black beanie hat at the time of the August burglary. He also had tattoos up and down his right arm.

The second suspect is a white male who was seen wearing a black T-shirt, dark pants, white running shoes and a black beanie with white writing.

If you have any information on this case or the suspects, police are asking you to call Silent Witness at 480-W-I-T-N-E-S-S (480-948-6377) or toll free at 1-800-343-TIPS. You can also leave an anonymous tip on the Silent Witness website. You may earn a cash reward of as much as $1,000 if you provide information that leads to the arrest or indictment of the suspects.

We want to hear from you.
